According to journalist Jose Alvarez Haya on El Chiringuito TV, the La Liga champions are working on the structure of a new proposal for the Argentine international, with the total package potentially rising to €150 million through bonuses and performance-related add-ons.

The development comes at a crucial stage in Alvarez’s transfer saga, with reports suggesting the former Manchester City striker is keen on a move to Camp Nou.
Barcelona remain determined to strengthen their attacking options under head coach Hansi Flick and appear ready to test Atlético Madrid’s resolve with an improved offer.
Barcelona Ready to Raise Stakes
The proposed €150 million package would represent a significant increase on previous figures linked with the deal and could make Alvarez one of the most expensive transfers in football history.
Reports in recent weeks claimed Barcelona had already tabled a €100 million bid for the striker, although Atlético Madrid publicly denied receiving such an offer.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the negotiations, Barcelona are believed to be pushing ahead with plans to secure one of their top transfer targets of the summer.
